This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will discover thy skirts upon thy face - that is, discover thy nakedness by throwing up thy skirts upon thy face (the greatest possible insult), pulling them up as high as thy head (Jer 13:22; Eze 16:37-41). I will treat thee not as a matron, but as a harlot whose shame is exposed; her gaudy finery being lifted up off her (Isa 47:2, Isa 47:3). So Nineveh shall be stripped of all her glory and defenses on which she prides herself.
